“ODO: Are we being accused of some kind of crime? I loved how Odo and Dax met the town’s “protector” Colyus. Not sure if I agree with this technobabble creation and don't really see the need to recreate the principles of holographic projection. I believe this is the only instance in trek where "omicron particles" are used to generate the holograms. We also start to learn that Jake probably wont fall in his father footsteps and join Star Fleet.Ī note about the holographic community. So we get to see the kindling Kira/Bareil relationship. Of course someone has to mind the shop while Odo is gone, and of course Quark has to see if he can take advantage. I guess I'm a pushover for cute little girls. Like this site? Support it by buying Jammer a coffee. But there's probably one storyline too many, and the episode is so unfocused-endlessly switching back and forth between the three stories-that it gets hard to become particularly engrossed in any of them. These character moments are pretty much all effective. And then there's the C-story involving Jake coming to terms with telling his father that he doesn't want to join Starfleet like the old man. Will Odo and Dax repair the projector and save the village? Are there stars in the sky? Also present is a somewhat unfinished B-story involving a romance between Kira and Bareil. The plot, however, is more or less perfunctory. Watching the softer side of Odo emerge is pleasant, and a final scene where Odo morphs himself into a top is, well, quite cute. Instead, the writers choose to develop a surprisingly affecting friendship between Odo and the young girl, Taya (Noley Thornton). The premise makes for an obvious definition-of-life analysis (since these holograms are all sentient)-which, fortunately isn't stressed in the slightest. Surprisingly early in the story, it's revealed that the entire community-people and all-is an elaborate holographic simulation, and that people are vanishing because of the projector's malfunctions. Odo and Dax beam down to a planet only to find a small community of humanoids who are disappearing one by one. This episode is an amiable outing character-wise, but rather pedestrian and all too disconnected.
